Nova Scotia's Liberal government, which had promised to address the health care problems that dominated the spring election campaign, drew derisive opposition reviews by adding only $6.2 million in new health spending to a budget worth $10.5-billion. Finance Minister Karen Casey said the budget "builds" on the earlier document, and fulfills Liberal promises to deliver back-to-back surpluses and lower taxes. At the same time, government made key investments in communities across the province," Casey said.

Two labour unions say a Canadian proposal to raise labour standards in the North American Free Trade Agreement is vastly superior to an American text, and they accused the United States of stonewalling progress on the issue.
